Sometimes I like getting up in my feelings and yeah, you know The reason I like power ballads is kind of the same reason I like B movies like the best ones are I mean They're shitty of course, but they're obscure. They're like yeah Well to me the best B movies are the ones where everybody's in you know saying like they're giving everything they got like they're taking it super Seriously, they still may lose but they're putting everything they got into it.
Yeah, and yeah You know, they're super passionate about it and like the worst B movies are the ones where people know they're in a shitty movie And they're just like hey guys, let's go fight the monster. You're like Megalodon rising. There's a perfect example of exactly what you're talking about Yeah, it's just like we're gonna phone this performance in it's like exactly shitty actors or actors that used to be really good And it's like um yeah, this is the best I can do now like if you ever seen minotaur No, I cannot say I have what's the dude I'm blanking on his name right now. He's freaking bane.

They um they're working on my uh, my Disability case and uh it was it was funny cuz I get the call and of course I answered it, you know immediately and uh, it's a lady She's uh she confirms, you know who I am give my social security number and my date of birth and all that and then she's like Um, do you find if I tell you something? I was like, no, no, no, she goes you have the most amazing voice I was like what nice because like when I hear my own voice.
I'm just like wow that I don't see I don't hear it right, um, you know Yeah, you're not most people hate the sound of their voice. Yeah, you know from what I hear It's gross when people do like their own voice Uh, I must be gross. I love the sound of my voice Sometimes I just talk into a recorder and play it back. But uh, no she she was like you should do uh radio or Read stories and stuff.
I'm like, yeah, I can see that now. Yeah, you're totally good. Dr. Seuss books by st Dude, that would be fantastic with cuss words.
Yeah You just yell like a box. I would not eat no fucking green eggs or ham because sam I am bitch So What are we talking about this week? Um, I have actually thought about an amazing thing because I saw maybe the other day and it kind of Pop my interest and I was seeing in a few things because I'm I'm a big Uh, just random youtube video looking at stuff. Oh, I'll get I'll get into a whole bro.
Yeah, and um, usually when I should be sleeping Not me. Um, well, yeah, because you don't have a job. Yeah, no, no job I actually good news is I stopped taking melatonin and my sleep has been so much better for some reason. It's so weird Dude, you can't take it all the time like melatonin.
I think it fucks with your hormones Everything I've read about it. So once in a while. I think it's good for you. Yeah, but like I was I felt like I was hooked on it because I had to take it to go to bed.
I can stop anytime I want No way my gummies, but uh, yeah, I quit taking them and like my sleep quality has been better I feel like so sleeping is not an issue It's it's during the day when I'm bored and I'm just like okay. I'm gonna flick on tick tock or whatever Right. I'm flipping through youtube videos and different things. Um, shapeshifting man.
What? It's been around forever ever ever ever So it's a guy into shapeshifting because he saw a video or something. Um, I mean, I've always kind of had that idea I think it's always been a cool concept and we've already talked about my astro projections and Is that related like I feel like it is I really feel like like in my brain, uh, I don't connect astro projection with Animals, but I guess that makes sense. We have to look at ourselves as a whole We're not just a physical being and we're not just a spiritual being we're both we have to combine this too Otherwise, you're just only one half of a of a piece Yeah, I mean, there's uh, there's a lot of like important things that people should do You know like when when somebody's going through like a Like a transformative kind of phase like it's huge I mean unfortunately for a lot of people it's usually when they hit bottom with addiction or health or you know relationships You'll get some kind of a wake-up call right?
Yeah, you get super depressed or you hurt yourself or something like that Right, but uh, you know whenever somebody's going through that phase they're always like, you know You're gonna retrain mind, body and soul and that's just real man. I mean, yeah, I mean if you We can take it back to the bare bones. There's cave paintings of human people humanoid figures arms legs, but they have the head of a beast Um, it's the native americans right they are 100 behind the whole a astro projection and then you have the shape shifting uh skin walkers Right, uh, throughout history throughout every culture. Well, you know, we haven't always been in houses.
You know, uh, There's a lot of there's a lot of things that we have just sort of forgotten about I thought it was kind of funny when You know during the pandemic. There's always all sorts of like different Things that they were telling people they need to do and it's funny like uh, I've talked about it before like vitamin d and how important that is Like I didn't know that it wasn't a vitamin like it's a hormone that is only produced by us being outside In the sunlight and another thing they were telling people to do just like to boost their immune system and just their well-being They're like go walk around outside without any shoes or socks on yep like get get your feet in the ground You have to look at it like this like comparatively We are what a dog is to a wolf like we are the result of evolution and I believe in evolution I don't want to you know p and anybody's Cheerios, but that's just my belief and sorry Um, well, I mean sidebar. I don't understand why anybody would fight against evolution in the first place one word christians Yeah, but I mean again sidebar, but you know, I'm a christian and it's like I can't stand it when people want to separate those things and make them Absolutes or make anything an absolute really like why can't those things exist at the same time exactly? And it's always been my belief that it has been Man's if you believe in a creator then what's so hard to believe that you know, uh The creator like made this shit and was like go go go.
Yeah, like, you know, let let let my thing do its thing It's our ego. Yeah, it really is to to think that as human beings. All right. So me being north pegging you being christian I mean in the christian religion and catholic religion the belief is adam and even that and we always put time periods on things It's like, you know, who's to say during the genesis?
Seven days, you know, you know, god created the world and six and rested on seven Who's to say what one day is in to a god to sure, you know that one day could have Contained all of evolution. It could have contained dinosaurs. It could have contained all of those things Right yet as humans we have this innate ability to just want to control. We have to control Yeah, everybody wants to push it into a box And this this is that box and nothing else can go into that box or come out of it And it's just a really close-up way of thinking And my belief system is you know, we're we're part of a wild there's a wild nature in all of us Yeah You know what i'm saying like it's from the beginning of time, you know, and why i was talking about being outdoors is I mean if you actually take the time and you know outdoorsy people will tell you the same thing like you get kind of you kind of get to vibe with Animals pretty quickly absolutely you you know, I mean look at how much people love their pets man I mean, there's there's a connection that you make with an animal that you know is different than what it is with people And because that animal's not gonna like shit on you later on down the line.
It's always gonna be like your buddy Listen cat cat or just dicks I mean I have three cats and I love all three of them, but yeah, they are pretty much fucking dicks They do whatever they want and it's kind of like you can love them as much as you want But it's not reciprocated. It's like I love you when I feel like it Yeah, kind of I mean I do sort of feel like I just uh provide food for my cat Right and you are the servant. He's just kind of waiting waiting to be fed like at all times but uh, I mean There's there's plenty of evidence of not just uh animal consciousness, but they're I mean There's a lot going on in animals and I think we've always picked up on it and everybody like you know You want to associate yourself. I'm sure I mean I I think certain animals are cool as shit And I'm sure all through time people are like man that wolf is dope I want to be that I want to be like that.
I want to be like that wolf and then there's cultures that are You know integrating that into their life and integrating that into their religion. Yeah because again throughout history throughout different cultures I mean if you are if you're in a group and you're surrounded by wolves and bears and and different things like that Crete animals of power um for the native of men indians you had uh totems which were the buildup of Your guiding spirits. You are, you know, you always had a bear wolf otter beaver right and each one had its own individual Uh meaning a wolf was a teacher You know the stories go that in the beginning of time that you know the wolves were the ones that taught man how to survive and how to be good Interesting, um the crow You know the crow got its voice bringing fire to man. Okay, there's a there's a yeah It's uh an old fable where crow actually carried fire in his mouth and brought it to man And that's why he lost his voice.
That's why crows are like Instead of a beautiful songbird, um and that's you know, that's old I dropped the fire right now. I got no shit boy. Idiots. I just turned myself into very white Uh, so the connection between man and animal has always been there Indians used to use the hate the same hunting techniques as wolves They would cover themselves in the fur of their prey.
Yeah, and then sneak in, you know and use that as a teaching tool And it's only logical that you I say you as a group Um, you would want to be closer to that. Sure to be part of that animal. So that's where well Yeah, you feel some sort of kinship with them exactly so again. My thought process is every human being has Uh, a chaos a an animal part of them.
That's not tapped into yeah You sent me an article or a video that I didn't get to to look at but we were talking before the show and it It sounded like kind of a cool idea. Yeah The gentleman it's a north pegging belief in the uh, the title on the the program was called the werewolf cult which Which is a little bit clickbait. It is it's definitely clickbait bait, but um I watched it and it made complete and total sense because the guy goes into the fact that as human beings We are only generations away from where we were as oh, yeah, it wasn't that long ago throwing stones and you know Using these animal type techniques to survive and that chaos still lives in us again The metaphor of a wolf and a dog even though it's a dog it still has that mentality and that inner core of a wolf that still messes with me man that dogs all dogs are wolves Like even a pug exactly that shouldn't exist Who was mostly bred by the Chinese for warmth? Uh, it all eventually came or it all traces back to wolf's exactly nuts to me And you know you can take that for what it is again man as being a man I've got to change it and mold it to what I want it to be right, you know instead of just kind of like let it be and Be comfortable with what's around you which segues into what this guy was saying on the video, you know We all have this chaos and that's what i'm going to call it is chaos.
It's an animal inner animal that We refuse to allow access to our modern life because it's not Our primal side which I mean if you want to turn put it in terms of like modern psychology Uh like in terms of uh, like your your fight or flight exactly like we're in a lot of ways We've advanced too quickly like I think a lot of modern stress anxiety things like that comes from we're We're designed to survive right and so that fight or flight came from you know, you're being fucking attacked Yeah, like you go to live in a cave and there's a fucking cave there and you have two choices Do I want to live in this cave? So i'm gonna fight this on bitch and kill it and wear its skin right have fun Or am I gonna run away and then go find something else and that's where our stress comes from because it's like You know, we're dealing with shit that we don't usually deal with and it piles up quickly with your job Your life your health your house your car anything you can think of your finances like all that shit adds up And I don't know it's how you deal with it. So do you decide to run away from it? You know, which unfortunately a lot of the i'm gonna say this current generation That's their answer is kind of like we're just gonna make excuses or change, you know, not really change it But you know, we're gonna go to our safe space, right?
So we don't have to deal with it or or it's somebody else's fault exactly or you can go and say we need to change this We need to make this different right, you know, so this concept can be laid out across every aspect of your life You can this concept of chaos exactly right if you don't deal with Problems and allow yourself to experience that chaos You're just chaining that part up and I feel like that's what causes people to snap with you know If uh, you keep a dog on a chain too long what's gonna happen after you let him off He's gonna run ramp it. Yeah, he's gonna do all the things that he was not able to do That's a good point man. Um, a prime example I went to a private roman catholic school right taught by nuns most of my life When I went to public school it was literally like somebody just cut the chain off my neck Oh, yes Here's you know I went from having to have my hair above the bottom of my ear and shirt and tie and pants to Rock and roll with t-shirts and blue jeans and boots and it was like what the fuck man It was a whole new world and I yep took full advantage. I went but fucking wild for sure You know well, it's like I mean it's it's almost a proverb at this point Like the concept of the preacher's daughter.
Yeah, exactly exactly like as soon as they get away from home Like they go fucking crazy. Yep eight kids later in the park Now I'm steve cook of my daddy. No, I'm cooking meth. Do you love me?
I mean they do make good strippers though. Absolutely my support single moms But it totally makes sense um like uh, I mean Was here you could verify that occasionally and I always try to like preface it with like Uh, I mean most people say you got a minute, right? Excuse me sir like basically and I tell him like I don't need anything I just need to vent for a minute if that's cool and if he's got time he'll say yeah sure if he's busy it I'm like yeah, don't worry about it, you know, I'll bother somebody else with this bullshit Exactly, but it's it's therapeutic man Like if there's a lot of shit going on or there's stuff pissing me off Like I gotta get it out. I gotta tell somebody and if they're in a place where they can hear it That's awesome.
If they're in a place where they're like I got my own shit man. I don't have time for this I'm like cool. No problem, but it's so good for you like people who keep shit pan up It causes problems you either snap on somebody when you shouldn't right, you know, you end up, you know Tell your boss to fuck off hurt the ones you love and yeah, so have you ever heard of primal screaming? You know, that's funny.
I was actually just gonna say that uh, I do that I I don't do that often Uh, dairy does though She said that like on her way home like because she has to deal with rich assholes all the time that are super entitled and yeah Have no reason to be the dick as that they are She doesn't want to bring that home with her so she's like there's a lot of times that I would just straight up scream at my windshield on the way home It is so and it is a release um for me personally a lot of time and it is when I'm driving Um an example. I was driving down trolley road and I saw this out of the corn I had this little baby possum and like for some reason that's like my spirit animal I guess because I've had you run into a lot of possums. I've raised two That's crazy in the wild so this guy runs out into the road and I hit breaks and I'm like cool He's gonna make it across the road right this guy behind me just whips over and just in front of my eyes Smash dude. I lost my shit I'm afraid that I was literally afraid that the the windshield was gonna blow out because it was just such a deep no Primal roar that came out of me.
It was The fuck did that come from and Afterwards, yeah, I was still upset about the situation but I was like, okay. I can move on That's that's not inside of me anymore. And that's where that that like releasing that chaos Yeah, because it's all to that it was been like just gnawing at me and just chewing on me and Getting rid of it. It's just like taking out your emotional trash without influencing or affecting anybody around you And that and that's kind of like the uh the cult of the werewolf right?
Exactly. That's what they're talking about as modern humans who have kind of drifted away from our primal Way of thinking and doing things we as humans now need to find time to go and release that chaos go and Be at a primal yell or go for a walk in the woods and become one with nature for a little bit Right sounds like hippie or whatever, but there's something to that. There's a nature to that. Yeah, I was uh So when we decided to talk about this I immediately thought of uh, I don't know how much you've looked into shinto Japanese religion I thought it was all like me as akimovies like I was all like gods that are shaped like pokemon Uh, and then monkey king and that is it kind of but uh shinto is actually super cool It's been around since like 300 BC they think as far as like their oldest decks go and uh, It's interesting because it's it's not even really a religion like it's it does it's no specific Creator like they have they have like a creation story right which is like uh, you know There were like three elements basically and those elements combined to form uh, eventually like the two first people But not like an aden not like an adam and eve started away more like uh More like the first two like deities, I guess and they were the ones that created the world like you know The female ended up having a baby that was fire.
Okay. Yeah, I got you and the fire killed her during childbirth So then she became the the head of the underworld and all the things kind of grew from there But the way shinto was practiced is it's basically like the um Like the concept of the sublime. Do you know what that is? I do not So the concept of the sublime is basically like anything like natural that evokes like almost like an artistic emotional response So like when i looked at a read and it made you feel a certain way or exactly seen a frog and it made you a breeze Right anything where you're just like, yeah, so it has like vibe with it a little bit emotional attachment to external stimuli Right, so they believe that like uh In these uh spirits which they call commie and a commie can be anything It's a spirit of anything.
It can be like the spirit of hair They actually have they have a spirit of hair where there's uh, I really could use some Hair That's crazy. There's actually like a shrine in japan for this uh commie of hair and it was a really well-renowned uh hairdresser in japan and when he died he had so many followers that he like Became the commie of hair and so they built a shrine to him and if you want to you know ask for a little help up top So what's his name like uh toupee? I now pray to the god toupee. Yeah, give me some hair male pattern baldness, right?
That's great, but it's really cool. And uh, so a lot of that is animals as well. So right there's there's commie that No, that's either are animals or they are this like the patron spirit of like specific things like uh What's it called? Amoratu?
I think is that's a wolf uh fox? Yeah, it's yeah, it's the it's either wolf or fox Yeah, it's a dog like anadib but that's the i wanna say it's fox because that sounds familiar Yeah, and that's she's the um, she's the sun god basically But there's also entities that are not animals but are like the spirit of animals Right like they are the d&e that's related to like foxes or eagles or whatever and uh, it's really kind of a neat thing because there's no Central morality to it. There's not like all it is is like appreciation right it's an actuality It sounds a lot like a Greater form maybe of north pegging only because their creation story is kind of the same thing like right It is very similar to this and then you know this one dies and they use the blood to create rivers and the flesh Mountains very similar mythology Odin had brothers and then they decided hey We're gonna throw some wood out here on the beach and that's where you know man and women are gonna come from and they're gonna feed off the tit To this mind-headed. I mean again still still learning but It goes into I mean animals are really important in lots of religions.
I mean mythology like greek and roman Top to bottom greeks. I mean zoos turned into like everything. He was a bull He was an eagle. He was so many different animals.
Um, I mean even in christianity, uh, there's um There I can't remember now and somebody's gonna give me shit about it I'm sure but there was the one story of the demon that possessed somebody and he got cast into the right Heard a pigs right which is why a lot of people won't eat swine. Is that why? Oh, yeah 100% why like they're a dirty filthy animal that lives on their own right the club is thing. Yeah, it's crazy It's crazy because I love me some pork.
I gotta have my ribs son. Yeah, that's why I'm fat I feel like pork chop people who are anti-porches haven't smelled bacon right dude. Could you imagine anything better? No, nothing Nothing.
I mean bacon might be the greatest thing on earth possibly possibly. I mean if you really kind of reduce it down Everything else is kind of kind of fades in life. Yeah, I mean we could do a whole episode on what I do with bacon My bacon rat meatloaf. You do some serious things with me.
I'm like the bacon weave master I lay out a big weave and roll a meatloaf in it. Yeah Deliciousness and really I my my affection for pork really kind of expanded when we moving to the south like oh, yeah I never really yeah, we had a pull pork in Indiana But it wasn't like down here man. Everybody takes their their smoking of meats very seriously down here And then like stuff like fat back. I never even heard that word in Indiana.
I don't know what that shit is. It's good for you But what big and strong but that shouldn't beans Wow, we're like this is this is definitely feels like a Subject related show with just a lot of interjection. Oh, that's fine dude. I'm all about it I'm all about it.
I mean we we stopped early on and I'm sorry if we lost some of those people or if you're still sticking around I appreciate it and we did get some criticism at the beginning where people are like man I wish you guys would just like get to the subject and quit bullshitting around so long and then we had other people were like man I wish you guys were just bullshitting all the time just do banter Yeah, just kind of goof off the whole time and and what we discovered and uh, you know since adding you we definitely have gone that route where we're just like Hey, we're just having a conversation. We're just guys hanging out. Yeah, we're just hanging out. Have a beer Yeah, have a beer chit-chin and uh, you know, we're glad that you're joining us totally because that I mean that's what really anybody's trying to do, right?
You just trying to kill some time. I just want to be heard. Yeah Well, and sometimes people just want to hear other people absolutely like I mean when I'm gonna two hour drive It's like what am I gonna do? I just want to sit and listen to dudes just fuck off Uh, but anyway, so it's hard to look into the show without looking into skinwalkers, which is I do think it's pretty neat It's that's probably the most widely known like if you had to put a face to the name Skinwalkers automatically when you say that in sites Images in your mind of you know, somebody crazy shit.
Yeah, well, especially with that new series, right? I haven't watched much of it. Have you seen any of it about the skinwalker ranch? No, what I have seen is even now There are people on tic-tac posting.
Oh, yeah, pictures and images of like, you know, here's a possible skinwalker You know picture of a skinwalker and it's like a deer and all of a sudden the body starts elongating and getting weird shapes And it's like I watch them very closely because I'm like, all right. So how much is somebody just distorting the picture? Technology has come a long way. Yeah, like I used I used to go down that rabbit hole and uh, uh, I mean everything was real.
I blame the the technocracy and google especially And it won't go too far into it, but you know during the pandemic there was all this like anti misinformation shit Yeah, and so there was like it's getting better now But you remember like there was this big thing on misinformation and youtube started just like Axing any video Anything that was not At least what they considered real and so like all the esoteric like cool shit was missing like it was it was almost impossible to find a Fucking Bigfoot video for a while. Yeah, like and I realize it's fake most of it or at least you can't tell I mean But I know I still like watching this. I'm not gonna discount me I want to see a fucking mermaid in india Right, I mean I realize it's probably bullshit, but I still appreciate the fact that they made the video and I want to decide for myself Dude, you know, and that's the thing We we've scratched the surface. Yeah, especially the ocean.
We have no idea. What's that no idea? You know, um Dude, that's why we did an episode on cephalopods man like just those things alone are fucking wild and we barely understand Yeah, it's not just one of the same brain pain and then there's those crazy ones Yeah, the super like the giant squids that sperm whales and well, there's one thing that I can't remember the fucking name of them now Uh, there's one cephalopods that are like scientists have no fucking idea what they are They're like multi organisms unknown genus Yeah, and they're like they can be like fucking 30 feet long and they just look like neon fucking lights under the water Yeah, it looks like that movie the abyss just like crazy shit. Yeah, I totally agree man.
You never know There's the belief that like it's the marionis trench like yeah 20 miles deep or some shit way deeper than I ever want to go Yeah, nobody wants to go down there. No, but there's shit down there. Wow. Yeah, that's like the whole premise of the movie Meg like Yes Come up from the book was the book was uh, you actually read the mag.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's actually really really cool When it kind of followed the same storyline and there is a mag to yeah, I know it's like Uh in the book they're they've discovered obviously that there's megalodons down there and uh They're down there exploring and one meg tries to attack and starts heading up to the surface And then a even bigger mag comes up bites that mag and half and then uses the bloodstream The blood flowing off the first dead one right to break through the cold layer. It's wild.
It's amazing. I love it so much Beautiful concept. I mean, I've talked extensively at my uh, love b movies And Jason state them is always fantastic. Have you seen the wrath of man?
Yeah, I watched that the other man That would disappoint me a little bit a guy richy movie and I really was expecting some like Moth kick something yeah something that was the way it circled was definitely guy richy But the way it's yeah for sure but I don't know it just it almost took itself too seriously Like they didn't let Jason say them kick ass until the end Yeah, and then he just shot some dudes like come on man You got like the number one action star in the world and you don't let him kick ass with a whole fucking movie When he uh did his first round of shooting and you know when he when he qualified at a C You know just passing and then the right when he actually had to shoot somebody and he's just like pink pink pink pinpoint I was like getting pretty excited about that. Yeah, but it definitely could have been better and I did like the suspense because for a while I was like, yeah, that's the guy. That's the guy. He's the bad guy.
That totally blew my mind. I was like, no I was wrong. It's gonna walkers though. Just a circle back.
Yeah, uh, I've always been kind of cool to me Are you familiar with uh, Carlos castaneda at all? Castaneda? Yes That is the religious he's a religious guy isn't it? Well, so he's an anthropologist that it's still kind of a controversy on whether or not his uh teacher and the so the big book I think it came out in the 70s that he wrote was called the teachings of Don Juan Okay, and Don Juan was a brujo or you know a witch doctor.
Yeah, I'm just getting a witch doctor. Yeah, and uh, so the story is all about him like uh teaching Carlos Uh, what he called the the path of the warrior and it's all these like it's actually some really cool shit Um about like mastering your intent Um like the big things and by that it he means like, you know Not wasting your intentions on things that don't matter because your You know your spirit your Chi whatever you want to call it is really important in the astral realm like it's precious Yeah, exactly the things that you can't see so like eat, you know things like eating poorly Um, you know drinking too much all that kind of shit affects your aura basically like that you can't see and uh, he did like really serious peyote trips with his dude nice and uh, like in one of the trips He met the spirit of peyote as a wolf and then he also turned into a wolf Wow or at least he believed he did right and Don Juan was like, yeah, you were totally a wolf dude So 100% In agreement with the fact that there has to be some type of drug use not necessarily has to be only let me rephrase that Yeah, I mean you want to get into show me some shaman drug use be it peyote be it shrooms Because I mean, I'll tell you honestly if i'm running a cyclist rooms There's a 99 percent nine percent chance that i'm a werewolf. It's gonna happen I've had people standing around me just losing their mind like this dude has lost his shit It's something that that we haven't added a visual aspect of the show yet, but you know just sitting here looking at you I would say definitely either kratos or might be a well-worked or aware chicken. We're chicken Brent Brent had the greatest line yesterday like his his spirit animal was a hot dog Yeah, dude And I was at sams and I so wanted to just think it was cracking me up too I was like the hot dogs Section and just be like hold yeah, what are you guys doing?
I'm like, yeah, we're doing some shit about spirit animals and stuff and he's like, yeah mine is a hot dog That's pretty good. It was good But um so again, that's that multicultural Aspect of it where it doesn't matter if it was native american if it was north pegan vikings There was an influence that assisted that right you're saying there was like some sort of like External influence right some sort of shamanist to sort of right trans transition Um, pay was like huge like that was you did your dream quest your vision quest, you know, and that's where you saw guidance You looked for answers to problems, you know, and the majority of the time you had a spirit totem or an animal guide That carried you through that you followed Um, you know to get to the south americans how they like latch on to like the panthers and and there is a Yoko, what is that? It's a drug that they use in the amazon. Oh, it's basically yoke, but it's like a dust and they inhale it and it takes them on that vision quest Yeah, I think that's basically ayahuasca is it yeah, which is just dmt And isn't that nuts that like I mean that's weird enough shit on its own So how did you figure that out?
Did you know the only two instances of dmt are from that one tree in your brain and your brain your peneal gland Yeah, it just dumps that shit in your brain either when you're dreaming or about to die And it's amazing the studies they've done with that They've taken groups of people given them dmt And the majority of the group goes to the same place. Yeah, it's the same thing. Oh, yeah, like the pro lady the Black work nums all that shit like it's the unlocking to another dimension So it only adds to the the thought of you know, are we are we just kind of breezing through everyday life? Is there something else beyond that that as modern humans and I use quotations Uh that we refuse to see because we don't allow ourselves to see right?
We don't allow ourselves to break those boundaries of umton strain to be in a nine to five guy go home eat dinner You know, drink a beer, yell at the kids kick the dog and then get up the next day and do it all over again Right instead of just kind of like see to your pants, man I mean, it's got a kind of different that's that's where like even as a christian I understand like it's not like every answer is in that book and like the number one thing that I always remind myself is If somebody tells you they have all the answers then you shouldn't ever listen to that person again No, because like anything that you can't see nobody can tell you what it is Have you ever been in a situation where you've had the question what you've seen like You picked up on something like that's a good question so you're in a dark room or walking through the woods at night or Have you ever been in that situation where you've had to stop and go what the fuck was that? Why am I seeing or hearing or you know a light in the sky definitely sleep deprivation? Yeah, I've definitely like I mean In my college days for sure There were plenty of instances where I should have been seeing should there wasn't there But really didn't and then a couple of long drives dude There is nothing more real than a sleep deprivation hallucination dude. Yeah, I was seeing entire I'm talking about not even like entire barns and shit like I saw dude bicycling on the side of the road And I'm like oh why's that guy on the road in the middle tonight?
Like as I came up? I'm like oh shit That's not there. I should probably pull over. I'm talking about stone cold sober No external Like like me personally we had a a section of woods growing up You know and it was super dark It always had trees growing over the road and I was walking home from a friend's house and that section of woods was usually when I would kick it up Like mop 10 with my nikis.
Yeah, because it scared the shit out of me because I just There was always like there was knocks in the woods. There was always weird noises coming from woods Anybody who's what if that was something would have done something out there? I don't know. I didn't see it But I internalized it as I better get the fuck out of here because that could be you know, whatever skinwalker Bigfoot dude Maybe you can tell me so it's not super often but woods behind my house here.
Okay. It could be an owl I don't know what the fuck it is, but occasionally I'll hear some shit. That sounds like a fucking howler monkey dude like cat-spiting No, not a cat fighting. I'm talking like Yeah, that's a owl.
I'm like what the fuck is that? Is it so we have like four or five of them in our neighborhood dude? Wow, yeah, it's great. It's a beautiful sound like it's not just whoo-hoo Like a loud shriek when there's usually two of them together.
Yeah start like howling at each other Teratory figure that's what it was. Yeah, there there is a great one out of it was behind their vocalization changes based on you know Obviously if there's a hot owl chick hanging out, you don't want to be like whoo-hoo. You want to be like Yeah, I figured it was something fucking up the squirrels that just appeared from my backyard. Exactly.
You pretend you know, I gotta do it. Oh, yeah Yeah, Brent's always trying to hide the beer cracks. That's my thing. That's my signature move That's my combo move on fucking you know Street Fighter.
Yeah, Street Fighter. I'll go with that. Spirit crack beer crack speaking of They're one of the Shinto gods Or deities and like I don't even like call it was just calm commie because god and ditty really doesn't even make sense Which is which is why I thought calm or a sinto was kind of cool. Anyway, we're like religion wise.
It isn't it doesn't even really fit It just shows you how much different people can be but I think ditty I don't know man like it's kind of cool though because there's one that was like so you you know, uh like from Mortal Kombat There's like Raiden uh, got a thunder right and maybe I'm just pronouncing it wrong, but there's a right shoe RA iJ Ian like Raisin is uh the god of storms really and then there's another one that's like a god of the sea There's like a sea dragon that uh sounds a lot like haduken really? Yeah, which I thought was kind of funny like with a video game every like every kid in an arcade for They knew how to was was invoking the the sea dragon of fucking japan so talking on that that level the hawaiian and this is a um a shapeshifter belief of Not only can humans turn into animals, but animals turn into humans which you see more in the asian cultures um Polynesian hawai A name that a lot of us are familiar with because of marvel and uh or not marvel dc uh nanawai nanawai is the uh hawaiian where shark what yeah, so it's a shark that turns into a human Which is I mean basically what in the movie nanawai is dude, um, you know So the names you can go down a list and I mean there's where angels where you know different animals I mean think think about what uh a pain in the ass that would be to be a wear shark So you know you're walking around on land and then you know, I don't know if it's a full moon or what turns you into the shark But like it seems like that would be a bad thing to do just walk around going numb numbs Fuck i'm in a desert. Yeah, that would suck. Yeah, you would definitely hope to caddles.
No, no not a moon Anybody got a kitty bull shit. I need some water spit on me something please but like So, I mean it's it's pretty obvious that you know animals are important to I mean really all cultures everything everything without animals. We don't live. I mean we eat animals, right?
Does it does it bug you at all the the uh the whole vegan thing? It does Mostly because like are you are you not respecting the natural order? So everything kills shit man veganism bothers me when they want to shove it down your throat when they say oh because you eat a hamburger You're doing this this and this well, you know what you're You know what you're doing has effects as well, you know for sure you go out and eat a bag of nuts No pun intended right? I mean it has to has to have some of the implications too and the thing that does bug me is I mean I agree I'm not I don't think factory farming is cool.
No, I think the whole uh like have you seen what they do to like uh like chicks Oh, yeah, do like just sex them. Yeah. Well, and then they just throw them into a fucking meat grinder. Yeah, there's like oh, you're no good Boom Uh, you know the factory farming shit is kind of fucking crazy.
I mean you can put anything and a lot like I could go To torture something before it dies. It is weird. Um, but you can video and enhance Anything I can go out in a field with a combine and videotape the slaughter of soybeans Right first hand right at the combine is it because I was I mean I worked on a farm growing up So I mean I've seen you know the process of planning a vegetable and watching it grow to its Yeah, I don't want to make this a animal rights thing But uh nature is a fucking brutal man And that's the problem There's that it all goes back to that chaos principle the animal part of us as human beings Are we going to allow that part to come out? Are we going to allow ourselves to be what we really are which is we're human beings But we have a history.
Yeah, exactly. We are part of that chain Well, yeah, that's that's one of the things that makes us special is that we got out of the food chain Yeah, I mean we're kind of on the top now this next generation. I don't you know I foresee many horrible things like chickens killing. I don't know gen X or kids Is it just me or are I never like this as a concept from Jurassic park, but uh, I mean really we're dinosaurs Just like giant chickens dude.
I don't know. I I feel like they ought to progress with that I really feel like they need to take that technology and push it and go ahead and start creating dinosaurs and because reptiles and birds are really close They are hollow bones. Yeah, hollow bones. Visuals are all the same.
I mean, I don't know I don't either. Hey, so Let's ramp up this somewhat esoteric episode with Some pop culture bullshit. Okay, and you know, we're I'm not gonna make you put crystals on or anything Do I must do I have to throw in my deer antler headdress and uh paint my face But I always think it's kind of entertaining to uh to do one of these uh like internet things just to you know Have the listener do a little interaction. So I'm on spirit animal dot info.
Okay And uh, let's let's do a little quiz. All right, may I have a pen? Yep, I just got you a pen And see what your spirit animal is. This is for you and I both am.
All right, let me get a fresh So i'm gonna do Steve over here Dan over here. Okay, so I don't have to record good No, you don't have to so what is your favorite natural element and we have air earth fire water wood and space I was wood for me wood for you. Yep. My favorite natural element is water.
All right, so I guess I can't do them both at the same time. Can you pull this up on your phone? Yeah, actually I'll see if I can send you a link. All right, so mine's water mine is wood continue I feel at peace with myself most of the time fairly accurate very accurate somewhat accurate or very inaccurate Hmm.
I would say fairly accurate. Do you feel somewhat? Do you feel it that piece with self? Yeah fairly accurate most of the time I tend to be down to earth more than head in the clouds.
Uh, I would say that is very inaccurate. Yes I'm very I'm very I'm heading the clouds all the time dude. What does that do? What can I do to make it better?
I find it easy to approach others. I would say very accurate from you know saying I frequently do things without a specific specific schedule or plan Very accurate. Hmm For me that is I frequently do things without a specific scheduler plan. I would say somewhat inaccurate You know, it kind of stresses me out to not have at least some idea of what's happening At least a pinpoint to go to I mean, I would like to think of myself as like super cool in spontaneous, but that's just a lie So this one is the typical ordinary way feels like a betrayal of myself The typical ordinary way what the typical ordinary way feels like a betrayal of myself kind of like if you follow like Yeah, I was very accurate on that.
I frequently come up with ideas or solutions out of nowhere. Very accurate I would say fairly accurate for me. Yeah, I'll think of some dumb shit dude like Yeah, just take a string and tie it across there and uh, oh yeah, I can see you doing that Just go yeah do that the more useful. I am to others the happier.
I am. I would say very accurate. Yep. People, please I spent a lot of times observing before I act I would say Somewhat fairly for me.
I'm going somewhat because I just like have a tendency like fuck really Yeah, no, I agree like I mean, there's I do jump in but I also like take my time because I'm retarded Uh, I like to be impressive to others. I was very accurate. Actually, if you you know anybody that's honest with themselves is gonna say very accurate Yeah, I'm pukakakan when I can I'm always looking for a new thing. I have a red velvet suit, bro Right.
I have seen it. You do. I'm always looking to New things for new things to experience. I wouldn't say always I'm very I'd say very accurate because I mean I say fairly for me because I like my routines But if somebody was to come up and be like hey, this does this I'd still say fairly for me I'll never fast-paced existence I'd say very inaccurate on that one for me saying how would you rather spend your free time?
I'd rather go out outdoors and walk on a hike building something or engaging in creative activity playing video games watching movies at home Getting together with my friends and having fun going out reading my favorite book or website in bed on my couch So before you answer right the question is not what you do now. What would you rather do? So that's where I have to answer this question because I mean I know what I do now I sit on the couch and eat food and get fat and yeah, I mean I play games and watch movies all the fun times What would you rather do would be getting together my friends going out? Okay?
I feel like you would be an outdoors boy Or like two of them I can answer that list so I'm just gonna go with what feels like my guts I require lots of time alone to recharge. I would say fairly accurate I do need to recharge but I don't mind doing that with my wife because I'm one of those weirdos that still you know likes my wife What right? Yes, very accurate. I want to know I want to know what the fuck's going on in the world.
I seek out the secret of the universe I would say very accurate. What are you? Apparently I'm a butterfly bro I am a crow. I got the crow.
You got the cool one dude You got a butterfly. I got the crow. I'm gonna have to get a juice box bro I got juice bumps from that. Oh, I bet crows were like super important to north vegans.
Yes I got my new ring my union and you can ring. Oh, yeah, you got the crows right there on the thing that son you're like fucking Rick with two crows right That was great such a great episode. I did kind of do some investigating because I was oh I'm Justin Royland Have a heart attack about me too. Didn't get more to be in off the air, but apparently they are still on contract Supposedly moving forward.
I don't know how they're doing it. I guess they're getting impersonators find somebody that sounds like Rick Maybe they're using some like fucking like voice like you know deep fake technology to like mimic his voice I could see Rick being you know easy to I've heard lots of Rick impersonators. Yeah, I think Morty's gonna be the tough I don't have the specifics as to what the Abuse was I know it was like a domestic violence type supposedly he punched his wife and The other thing that I heard was that he had some teens and his DMS Well, I mean which I mean you can't really do is like it's all how you react to it's like I mean you can't really Prevent that there's teenagers that watch it. You can't really prevent that and I'd have to see like the evidence Yeah, like over the context like if she's like hey, I'm only 14, but I think you're sexy as fuck and he's like let's do it Yeah, you want to pick one my you want to pick on my Rick Maybe he was just You got butterfly and it was a blue one the butterfly is one of the most emblematic totem animals symbolizing personal transformation Perhaps this animal totem guides you to sensitive personal cycles of expansion and growth We're gonna have to cut this all out spirit animal I mean, that's like the Tyler Derton.
What's your spirit animal? It's like a penguin right slide bitch I see the crow. Yeah, let's say about the crows other than that Bad ass and way cooler than butterflies with life mysteries and magic sign of luck Associated with the archetype of trickster be aware of deceiving appearance I mean you had me at crow dude. You have to like run into the ground.
What's up butterfly? And I'm gonna have to get a lower back tattoo I mean, I got you I got you. We'll just do it. We just have to throw that really shitty.
So what we do on repeat We just put it in my butterfly Like we just do a butterfly on your neck and then bitches won't fuck with you to be like oh shit I mean that throat tattoo Terry probably would like that because you know no woman would ever speak to me Never again just like on my cheek just like a butterfly tattoo on my cheek post Malone dude Could you ever take somebody seriously? Like other face there are certain facial tattoos that I I can appreciate you don't like dope ones I like simple the simplistic like the rune signs on the corner of the eyes Um, dude, I saw a guy with a fucking octopus neck tattoo It was dope as shit. They'd roll up like kind of roll up Not like all of his face. They're just like kind of subtle just kind of like tentacles around his neck and I'm like that's dope the worst part about being a Artist is finding somebody to do work for for me Like right because I have pieces that I want done, you know, and I have a friend of mine amanda that we can like trade off on work I do stuff for her.
She does stuff for me and you know, um, so that's cool. That's cool. Are you just well? I don't think it'd be that hard.
Are you just meant for free? I mean like I'm not even like I mean, there's some really talented artists Absolutely, and there are some things that I would love to have done like next level Super detail stuff, but I find myself leaning more towards the again the whole Norse pagan like simplistic design like right, you know A horse that a eight-year-old draws, you know, just like legs and Well, I mean I could do that shit right. I just bring you over the house and give you the Just wake up in the next morning like infected Anyway, hopefully Brent's back next time because now we our prayers go out for just crushing it Crushing it on around without him. He better fucking steps game up.

So we're gonna open it up to Uh, it's gonna do maybe a tiktok a couple different platforms so people can reach out and uh, let us know Tiktok or an instagram would be cool just because we haven't added a visual element yet, so you know It would be kind of cool to like bust a tiktok all three of us. Yeah, it would you know, just let everybody see us crack a beer That would be best just like crack or one of our uh silly, um intros. Yeah, well. We're all singing together We could have a So, you know, when this comes out, I don't know what we're gonna end up using as the intro, but uh, the one we're all singing.
